1: The original Ikea
Although this book was published in the 1970s, the concepts of combining various textures, colors, materials, and their placement in each space of your home are timeless. The photography is amusingly dated, though. Even so, the staged designs on each page are delicious to flip through - it look very much like an Ikea catalog... but from the 1970s!

2: Native funk and flash
One of my favorite interior books. Very appealing '60s and '70s interiors that seem to belong to interesting people. This book has an authenticity and appeal that you will not find in other interior books of the period, which often lean too far in the direction of bland professionalism or tacky manufacturer promotions. Also a glimpse of European family life and mores. Veterans of 1970s Northern California will recognize certain tropes, such as diagonal wood siding, rainbow murals, and children with Free to Be You and Me records.
